Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films *** (2014) – Movie Review
Mark Hartley’s documentary of the men behind Cannon Films – wheeler-dealer Israeli producer-director team Menahem Golan [who died on August 8 2014, aged 85] and Yoram Globus – is hugely entertaining and informative. The cousins made, produced and […]
Second Coming **** (2014, Nadine Marshall, Idris Elba, Kai Francis Lewis) – Movie Review
There’s good acting everywhere in debut writer-director Debbie Tucker Green’s notable slice-of-life drama about the struggles of a lower middle-class black family living in south London. Nadine Marshall is excellent as Jax, a counter worker […]
Listen Up Philip **** (2014, Jason Schwartzman, Elisabeth Moss, Jonathan Pryce, Krysten Ritter) – Movie Review
Jason Schwartzman triumphs over a difficult-to-play, unsympathetic role as the angry, arrogant, conceited writer Philip, awaiting the publication of his second novel. His relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss) is deteriorating, and he refuses […]
The Overnight **** (2015, Adam Scott, Jason Schwartzman, Taylor Schilling, Judith Godrèche) – Movie Review
Writer-director Patrick Brice’s provocative adult comedy is a very saucy and amusing American indie with four fun star performances. Playing a bunch of weird characters, Jason Schwartzman and Adam Scott are both, er, very full […]

MGM’s landmark 1956 Forbidden Planet is one of the all-time great sci-fi films, looking thrilling in Eastmancolor and CinemaScope. It stars Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Warren Stevens, Jack Kelly, Richard Anderson and Earl […]
Queen and Country **** (2014, Callum Turner, Caleb Landry Jones, David Thewlis, Richard E Grant, Pat Shortt, Sinéad Cusack) – Movie Review
Writer-director John Boorman’s sequel to his semi-autobiographical charmer Hope and Glory (1987) is an old-fashioned, civilised pleasure. Callum Turner stars as the grown up 19-year-old Bill Rohan who is drafted into the army, does basic training […]
London Road **** (2015, Olivia Colman, Kate Fleetwood, Tom Hardy) – Movie Review
Rufus Norris directs a BBC film of the British National Theatre’s stage show by Alecky Blythe and Adam Cork. It’s a really weird, uncomfortable and disturbing idea to turn the real-life story of the 2006 […]
